Surely the 80% run the club how they want?

Skilful manipulation of the media by Cooper’s management to back Forest in a corner. Paper talk that probably had little substance.

Was Allardyce his mentor?

That is criminal. Who is responsible for forward-thinking. Amateur hour.

Pretty much a normal week then.

I think the circumstances of them getting Eriksson were pretty unique. Go and play for a mate to get some fitness and a new contract elsewhere. Very lucky for Brentford.

Think a 28 handicapper would manage that one.

Can just picture Nick Illingsworth’s match verdict in n The Ugly Inside. ’Saturday was a free hit. We should judge the manager on our next game v West Ham rather than today. At the end of the day, we got as many points for losing 15-0 as we would if we had lost 1-0.’

It’s not arrogant to think he might be persuaded by better terms than he is currently on. I do agree with your assessment of the club in question. They did luck out with Eriksson last season though.

They’re welcome to take him back. It would be a Burley-esque departure.

That is pretty much RalphBall in a nutshell.

Fucking hell, they won most of their games. Ridiculous statement. Nobody milks a win like Ralph.

Again, why give a manager a week to prepare for West Ham when he could have a fortnight?

Unbelievable

That’s true, but everyone has their breaking point.

A few comments on The Ugly Inside that Semmens was fuming and Ralph was pulled in after the game.

I think that would be a massive mistake. Just throwing more points away for the sake of it. Better to be decisive in my opinion. I’m seriously questioning going to future games at the moment and I’ve paid for a season ticket.

Great argument. Sorry about Ipswich yesterday.

I think the ‘jam tomorrow’ thinking has run its course. He’s well and truly used up his 9 lives as far as I’m concerned.

Probably not, but the extra week would make a lot of difference for the West Ham game.

I think today would be an ideal to sack Ralph. Whoever is in charge has free hit next week. The team won’t suffer from another week of Wreck-It, whoever is in charge. I’m hoping that SR have prepared for this and there will be no need for an interim manager.

We looked slow and ponderous again. Movement was non-existent until Adam Armstrong came on and started moving their defence about a bit. We are so easy to play against at the moment. Ralph has to go, we aren’t going to get any better with him in charge.

Please fuck Ralph off now. That was a shit afternoon for me.

Good team selection.

Let's go attacking and smash them. Just stop playing shit players and start playing good ones. See, easy. It's not fucking rocket-science. In reality, I'm expecting another head-scratching team selection, and more ponderous, negative, possession football. Our stats for passing sideways and backwards must be off the charts.
